The miners in the dry-districts
are having a busy season. They
never before had such an oppor-
tunity for laying in a water supply,
and barrels are in demand. Some
of the boys are storing snow in great
quantities by packing it in old tun-
nels. Those cid tunnels with their
cross-cuts, form excellent and sub
stantial ice houses, and next Sum-
mer the enterprising individuals
who have made ice while the snow
lasted, will be In comfortable cir
cumstauces. The snow is wheeled
into tunnel and solidly packed, so
that during the night it becomes al
most ice; this operation is repeated
daily, and two men can in a few
days put up enough to furnish an
abundant supply for a year. Next
Summer, visitors to the dry-districts
will be surprised and delighted
when they receive drink Of ice
water instead of the expected luke
warm liquid. One of the most en-
terprising prospectors is negotiat-
ing for job lot of condensed milk.
and If he can m AXE a satisfactory
bargain, will establish an ice-cream

THE WILD WEST
Takes in the Matinee at the Star
Theater.

NEW YORK, February 17.-It was a
very peculiar matinee given at the
Star Thester yesterday. The air was
heavy with the favor OF the stables,
the laughter was strangely hearty, and
the paIquet Was made %piCturesque or
uncoutb, as one looks at that sort of
thing. Ii was 100 or more cowboys
who brought the stable hlvor to the
thester. Il was a crowd OF queer H.
dams, equaws and papooses that made
the paiquet look queer. They were
adorned with the brightest of var
paints, their best blankets and new
turkey feathers. The queer audience
was made up OF performers of the Wild
West show, who were taking in their
first professional matinee. Nate Sails.
bury, one of the p%roprie!ors of the
Wild West show, vas playing to the
queer audience, and "The Humming
Bird" was studded by Miss McHenry
with illusions to people in and Incl
dents of the cowboy Indian drama.
The cowboys laughed at every
thing and whistled and ap-
plauded like gallery gods in a Bowery
show. The Indians did not know ex.
actly what to make of it, though they
seemed to enjoy the singing ana ap-
plauded it after the civilized fashion.
But they thoroughly understood Nate
Salisbury's appearance in a plug hat
aud horse blanket, in his limitations of
Metamora or some other Indian, and
they responded to his war whoop in a
lively fashion,

STRUGGLE WITH A MADMAN.
Marrow Escape of Gov. Richardson
From n FriRhtfuI Fate.

COLUMBIA, s. @, February 1.-THE
life of Gov. Richardson was endan-
gered by a negro mailman, who
demanded money or blood. Bax.
ter Dewalt, a black Hercules, walked
up to the private secretary and
asked for the Governor. When asked
his business Dewitt said that he had
been sent to the penitentiary by a
Judge who told him that at the expi-
ration Of his sentence the State would
be his and all the officials in it would
obey him.
Now" said he, 81 own the State
Bank, and / wish the Governor to
write out a check for the money in it,
or there will be trouble"
He would not be put off, and for a
time with a large club intimidated the
secretary, who was in such position he
could not get help. The police wers
telephoned for. Baxter said that he
had but n time to die, and would
lose his life, if necessary, to get his
money or keep his word and kill
the Governor. The negro porters
around the State House would not 60
near the lunatic. After making a mo-
ton as II to attack the Private Secre-
tary he left the Office and proceeded
to that Of the Secretary of State.
While there the police ar
rived. They tried to capture De-
walt, and a terrible struggle took place.
The negro yelled in the most terrible
manner, and the strength displayed was
appalling. Finally, by the combined
strength Of half a dozsn men, Dewalt
was secured and taken to the guard
house. On his person was found q
box Of cartridges and a loaded revol,
yer. II he could have seen the Cover
nor, he would have probably muir
dered him.

The PRORIBITIONISTS
Made Happy by IN Passage of Their
Constitutional Amendment BAH.

CHARLESTON, W. VA, February IT,
An unexpected turn was taken by the
Senate this morning when the bill
which had been passed by the lower
House ito prohibit the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors and drinks within the
State" came up for its passage. The
opponents of the bill discovered the
fact that they could not defeat the bill
and in order to do the next best thing
they called for tho vote on the joint
resolution whicl provides for the sub
mission OF the question OF prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale of in.
t xicating Liquors in this State" which
had not yet been announced. Upon
the call of the vots on submission
three members who had voted against
submission changed their votes to aye,
which gave the patrons OF the reaolu
ton a two-thirds majority. The sub
mission will be voted ON in November,
1888, the next general election. The
lower House passed the resolution two
weeks ago. The bill prohibiting the
sale Of liquors and drinks was then
laid on the table. The prohibitionists
are very enthusiastic over their vic.
tory.

A Dynamiter discharged.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, February 1.-THE
jury before whom the case OF George
Withrow, charged with placing dyna-
mite on the tracks of the Washington
avenue street railway during the street
a strike of two years ago, returned a
verdict Of not guilty this morning.
Withrow turned States evidence when
the cases Of the other alleged dyna-
miters were being tried, but when put
on the witness stand refused to testify.
The only evidence which the proseeu-
ton had against him was that fur
nished by himself when he made the
alleged confession, and the jury con-
sldered this insufficient for conviction.
Withrow has been awaiting trial for
eighteen months.

A MARROW ESCAPE.
A YOUNG MAN DREAMS THAT
TIE SLEEPER Is ON FIRE
In which He Is Travelling, and At
tempts 10 Make His Escape
Through the window.

PITT BU6G, Pa, February 17.-An
incident occurred early this morning
on the limited express on the Panhan-
die road, due in this city at 6 o'clock,
which caused intense excitement
among the passengers, and in which
n of them narrowly escaped with
his life. The train was running at
a very high speed a. 2 o'clock this
morning, when the porter on the St.
Louis sleeper was suddenly startled
by q crash OF glass. He hurried for.
ward to the first section, from whence
the noise seemed to have come, and
which was occupied by a young
man an route to Washing
ton, D. @. The porter hastily
pulled aside the curtains, when he
was Mortified by the sight that met
his gaze. The glass OF a double large
widow had been broken and the
pieces we're scattered around the sec
tion. A mans head, arms and shout
ders had disappeared through the
broken window, while his legs still re-.
manned within the car. The speed OF
the train was 30 great that the cara
swsyed from side to side, and each
moment there vas danger Of the man
slipping through the window and
bsing hurled to the ground. Instantly
the porter reAlz d the danger OF
the man, and grabbing him by the
feet succeeded in getting him back into
the berth. By this time the conduc-
tor, who had been called by the por-
ter, and several of the passengers had
hurried to the berth TO learn what
had caused the excitement. The
young man seemed dazsd at first, as
though he were but partially awake,
but he gradually realized the situa-
ton and shuddered as he learned
what a narrow escape he had. He
arose and dressed himself. He then
walked back and told the porter that
he could never forget what had been
done for him, as his life had been saved
~ his timely arrival. He said
that his name WAS @. F. King, and
that he was en- route to Washington,
d. @. He was returning from a trip
IN the West. Yesterday afternoon he
had eaten heartily while travelling in
the buffet Car. After he had retired
to his berth for the night he had an
attack Of nightmare. He dreams that
the sleeping car was on FIRE. The
rumbling noise OF the moving train
gave him the impression that the pas.
sengers vera b~urrying to and fro try
ing to escape from the car. While
still asleep, it is supposed that he
made a dash toward the window and
tried to plunge through head first.

The Formation of Pearls,

The formation of mother-of-pearl is
doubtless natural process taking place
in certain musscls. The formation OF
pearls, on the other hand. is ascribed to
accidents, and probably is caused by a
sickness of the mussel, or by some
wound inflicted on it. THIS view has
been reached by noticing the circum-
stance that when the shells are LARGE
and the inside smooth, clean and with
out any holes, SO that the mollusks can
fully develop, pearls are but rarely
found; while the formation of pearls IS
very frequent when the shells are irrec-
ular. Sometimes hundreds of pearls
are found iii the aforementioned shells
but frequently scarcely one of them
possesses any commercial value. Real
pearls are found only in bivalves; but
useful product is found in some mi.
valves. Fourteen varieties are en,,n,n,,-
ated' The products of which are known
to commerce. Among these are the
aVicula margaritifera, which produces
the most valuable pearls; the pima
sqlamosa, with black and red pearls
and the chank shell, with pale-reJ
pearls. N. ]. Star.
